Deanery development plans have shown that encouraging financial generosity is a priority for many churches, and an area often in need of development. In response to this, the Generous Giving Team have created Pathways to Generosity, a comprehensive toolkit designed to make life easier. Printed copies have been distributed to every parish, with thanks to the generosity of Benefact Trust, but Pathways is also available to download here.
Generous Church Checklist
Designed as an internal tool, the checklist is an ideal starting point for parishes keen to take an honest look at whether they are regularly nurturing a culture of generosity and at the same time making it easy for people to give.
